NBA: The bad guy forward hugs and throws James!

Chapter 327 begins! The Thunder team is hit hard!
"Wang Yan starts shooting three-pointers!"

"The Thunder's perimeter defense is helpless at this moment!"

"It looks like Wang Yan is going to get serious."

Sports channel commentator, Yu Jia, couldn't help but burst into cheers after witnessing Wang Yan's shot just now.

Indeed, it is not easy for a tall inside player like Wang Yan to shoot a three-pointer! !
In the stands of Chesapeake Energy Arena, more than 20,000 Thunder fans unconsciously showed panic and helplessness on their faces.

For the Thunder fans at the scene, when they saw the Thunder players scoring frequently during this period, they thought they were about to gain momentum and tie the score.

But... Wang Yan's unstoppable three-pointer completely disrupted the fans' extravagant hopes.

Courtside.

Thunder head coach Donovan also showed an extremely speechless expression on his face. He knew that in the defensive process just now, every Thunder player had tried his best and basically completely restricted the Thunder's offense.

But there was still no way to stop Wang Yan from scoring.

This is not a problem with the Thunder players, nor is it a problem with head coach Donovan, but simply because Wang Yan’s strength is too terrifying!
"Seriously!"

"Continue to play according to the previous tactics!"

"Don't panic! This is only the second quarter!!"

"The last twenty seconds! Try to return a three-pointer to the opponent!"

Donovan tried his best to let the Thunder players on the field relax. There were only twenty seconds left in the second quarter, and Westbrook was not in a hurry.

He deliberately slowed down his dribbling and slowly crossed the center line.

At this moment, the player standing in front of Westbrook is Kyrie Irving, and not far from Irving, Jimmy Butler is always ready to provide assists in defense.

It is clear from the first two quarters of the game that it is still difficult for Kyrie Irving to defend Westbrook alone, so Jimmy Butler needs to assist as much as possible.

"Ten seconds!"

“Nine seconds!”

"Eight seconds!"

In the stands of Chesapeake Energy Arena, Thunder fans began the countdown.

At the top of the three-point arc.

Westbrook still did not launch an attack. At the same time, Westbrook did not let his teammates screen for him. It seemed that... Westbrook was preparing to shoot a three-pointer!
On the sidelines, Cavaliers head coach Scott obviously noticed this, and he hurriedly shouted, "Go ahead!"

"Don't give him a chance to shoot!"

“Focus!!”

As soon as Scott finished speaking, Westbrook took action!
But...the Thunder's second-in-command did not shoot directly, but chose to pass the ball.

In a flash, the basketball came into the hands of Andre Robertson at the bottom corner of the three-point line.

Most importantly, there was no Cavaliers player around the Thunder guard to interfere!
"Shh!"

Andre Robertson withstood the tremendous pressure and scored with a clean shot in the last second! !

Three point hit.

Finally, the second quarter ended.

The away Cavaliers temporarily lead the Thunder 58:52.

However, both the Thunder players and the Cavaliers players knew very well that the six-point lead was almost zero.

The real battle between the two teams will be in the third quarter!!

...After halftime, returning to the locker room, Thunder head coach Donovan's expression was still calm. Before the game, he had already realized that this game would be quite difficult.

He tried his best to calm himself down and patiently told all the Thunder players: "There are only two quarters left. As long as we can maintain the performance we had in the first two quarters, the victory of this game will definitely belong to the Thunder!"

“Although our opponents are the defending champions, they are not unbeatable!”

Donovan knew that the top priority now was to try to instill confidence in his disciples. Before he could finish his words, the Thunder's second-in-command, Westbrook, stood up decisively.

He said to everyone with confidence: "That's right, there is nothing to be afraid of the Cavaliers. They are not our opponents!"

"This is Chesapeake Energy Arena, we need to defend the honor of our home court!"

Throughout the entire first half of the game, Westbrook's performance was still quite impressive.

As long as Westbrook tries to break through, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers' outside players to fundamentally restrict Westbrook's footsteps.

At the same time, Westbrook scored 15 points in the first half of the game alone, and his form was quite explosive!
Not long after, the third quarter officially kicked off. Head coaches Donovan and Scott from both teams made certain personnel adjustments during this period, which was quite tacit.

On the Cavaliers side, the team's star player Wang Yan left the court. To be honest, for the Cavaliers head coach Scott, he did not think that the Thunder could withstand the Cavaliers' advance.

He even believed that even if Wang Yan did not appear on the court, the Cavaliers could still compete with the Thunder.

indeed.

When the third quarter started, Wang Yan was indeed on standby on the bench, but despite this, the Cavaliers players on the field were still able to threaten the opponent's defense.

This time, after Kyrie Irving pushed the basketball to the frontcourt, he did not hesitate too much, but quickly passed the basketball to Mike Miller.

Outside the three-point line.

Mike Miller caught the ball and shot quickly!
"Shh!"

A clean three-pointer.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air above Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Kevin Durant, the Thunder's assisting player, was a step slower and could only watch the basketball fly into the basket.

Got three points!

As soon as the third quarter began, the Cavaliers gave the Thunder a warning.

The camera almost immediately found Thunder head coach Donovan.

The expression on the latter's face was a little nervous, but more of embarrassment.

He didn't expect that the Cavaliers' players on the field would be so confident that they dared to shoot wildly even without Wang Yan.

Donovan was furious.

When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Donovan kept shouting in response!

The Thunder players on the field were required to respond to the Cavaliers' three-pointer within the next period of time.

Outside line.

Westbrook quickly dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point line.

In front of him were Mike Miller and Kyrie Irving.

Obviously, the Cavaliers are still quite wary of Westbrook. This time, Scott simply sent out two defensive players to restrict Westbrook at the same time.

It turned out that this defensive assistance was very correct.

Westbrook did not have much confidence after seeing the two Cavaliers players rushing towards him. In a split second, he quickly threw the basketball to the inside!
Kevin Durant caught the basketball!
